WHAT PLANE IS FLYING OVER MUMBAI?
Wondering what plane is that, overhead right now? Every aircraft over Mumbai broadcasting ADS-B appears on the scope above at its true position — airliners, freighters, helicopters, trainers, and the occasional mystery pigeon with no flight plan on file.
Mumbai sits practically under the circuit at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport — expect aircraft low, close and slowing down, with the interesting part of the flight happening right overhead. With around 13 million people underneath it, this is some of the harder-working airspace on the planet.
Most traffic over Mumbai is working the nearby airports: Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (VABB), 1 NM away; Navi Mumbai International Airport (IN-0276), 12 NM away. Arrivals and departures from these fields cross the area daily, along with overflights riding the airways above.
The scope names what deserves naming: military movements, air ambulances, coastguard and rescue aircraft, warbirds, AWACS and tankers, and the occasional whale-shaped oddball all wear their own badges.
